[78-L] Gladys Tsutsumi

[Hopkins/Kato]

Don't know anything about Gladys Tsutsumi, but this is a post-war record, so
the music world was very conscious of American styles. A lot of singers made
up English first names for themselves. Koga Masao is one of the most famous
songwriters in Japan, with a long career (from about 1930 to the 1970s, I
think) and many of his songs try to combine a folk song sensibility with
modern orchestration.
